Ahmadinejad sees sanctions a 'battle' against Iran
None
The West has begun a "heavy battle" with Iran by tightening sanctions over Tehran's disputed nuclear program, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday in his first major speech since a European Union oil embargo took effect this month.
Speaking at a conference in comments to be broadcast nationwide, Ahmadinejad said his government was doing all it can to sidestep a growing list of international sanctions, imposed over Iran's refusal to halt its uranium enrichment activities. (AP)
